FAQ

Common questions.

Full Knowledge Base →

What is the difference between CBN and diamond?
CBN is the go-to for ferrous materials such as hardened steel and cast iron, where diamond reacts chemically and wears fast. Diamond belongs on carbide, ceramics, glass, PCD and PCBN. Picking the wrong one is the single most common cause of poor wheel life.
How do I read a SuperAbrasives wheel spec?
The code carries abrasive type, grit size, grade, concentration, bond and abrasive depth in that order. Our Wheel Marking System page breaks down each position with examples.
Can you make a wheel for a machine you have not seen?
Yes. We need the machine, the material, the geometry and the tolerance you are holding. That is what the Application Worksheet captures, and it is usually enough for us to recommend a specification.
What is your typical lead time?
It depends on bond system and whether the specification already exists in our records. Contact us with the part details and we will give you a real date rather than a generic one.
Do you re-plate or recondition tooling?
We do, for electroplated products. Send us the details of the tool and we will tell you whether reconditioning makes sense or whether a new tool is the better value.
